-Approximating the harmonics 7, 8, 9, Sixscared is named for the classic dad joke: "Why was six scared? Because seven ate nine." This is a tuning which still maintains some consonance, while eviscerating the rules of conventional 12-tone harmony. Perfect fourths and fifths? You won't find them here. Major and minor thirds and sixths? Not round these parts. Octaves? There is one down the road, but it's a few days' drive away. You're going to have to lean on the xen seventh harmonic to carry this tuning on its back.
+Sixscared is a tuning which still maintains some consonance, while eviscerating the rules of conventional 12-tone harmony. The familiar major, minor and perfect intervals are nowhere to be found, and octaves are far and few between, so the seventh harmonic becomes the backbone of harmony. Approximating the harmonics 7, 8, 9, Sixscared is named for the classic dad joke: "Why was six scared? Because seven ate nine."
